<body><table dir="ltr" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td valign="top"> <h4 align="center" style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0"> <b>Parks & Reserves of East Gippsland</b></h4> <p style="text-align:justify"><font size="2">East Gippsland's diverse parks and reserves not only contribute to the total Australian National Reserve System but also to a global conservation network with areas designated as Ramsar wetlands and Biosphere Reserves. Victorian parks and reserves were established from the 1850s onwards. Settlement in East Gippsland was centred around the better quality and accessible farming land of the Red Gum Plains and appropriate areas of river valleys, flood plains and high country plateaus. Large areas of native vegetation have been retained in the mountainous areas to the north and east, as well as significant coastal areas, of East Gippsland.</font></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><font size="2">In excess of 1 700 000 ha (80%) of East Gippsland consists of public land. This includes national parks, marine parks & sanctuaries, state forests & regional parks, historic areas and flora & fauna reserves. Managed by various government authorities including DES and Parks Victoria, East Gippsland's parks and reserves provide important contributions to the total conservation and economic framework of the region. </font> </p> <h2><a href="index.htm">East Gippsland Parks & Reserves</a></h2><ul><li><a href="frame_f.htm">frame_f.htm</a></li><li><a href="navigationandframe.htm">Walking Tracks & Trails</a></li><li><a href="ourparks/looking_after_our_parks__reserv.htm">Looking after our Parks & Reserves</a></li><li><a href="frame_c.htm">frame_c.htm</a></li><li><a href="homepage/frame_e.htm">homepage/frame_e.htm</a></li><li><a href="maps/Parks%20&%20Reserves/parks__reserves.htm">Parks & Reserves</a></li><li><a href="homepage/frame_b.htm">homepage/frame_b.htm</a></li><li><a href="frame_g.htm">frame_g.htm</a></li><li><a href="frame_d.htm">frame_d.htm</a></li><li><a href="frame_a.htm">frame_a.htm</a></li><li><a href="homepage/frame_f.htm">homepage/frame_f.htm</a></li><li><a href="homepage/frame_c.htm">homepage/frame_c.htm</a></li><li><a href="frame_e.htm">frame_e.htm</a></li><li><a href="frame_b.htm">frame_b.htm</a></li><li><a href="homepage/frame_d.htm">homepage/frame_d.htm</a></li><li><a href="homepage/frame_a.htm">homepage/frame_a.htm</a></li><li><a href="parks.htm">Parks</a></li></ul></td></tr></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td> <p style="text-align: center"><font face="Arial"> <a target="_parent" href="../../index.htm"><font size="1">Home</font></a><font size="1"> <b><font color="#000000">|</font></b>  <a target="_parent" href="../index.htm">Out & About</a> <font color="#000000"> <b>|</b></font> <a target="_parent" href="../../houseandgarden/index.htm"> House & Garden</a> <font color="#000000"><b>|</b></font> <a target="_parent" href="../../pistonsandrings/index.htm">Pistons & Rings</a> <font color="#000000"><b>|</b></font><a target="_parent" href="../../partiesandfunctions/index.htm">Parties & Functions</a><a target="_parent" href="../../glamourandglitz/index.htm"><span style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: 700"><font color="#000000"> | </font></span>Glamour & Glitz</a> <font color="#000000"><b>|</b></font> </font> <a target="_parent" href="../../furandfeathers/index.htm"><font size="1">Fur & Feathers</font></a></font></p> </td></tr></table></body>
